Discover with us how throws can transform your interior and enhance your year-end celebrations!

Arrange throws in traditional Christmas colors.

Creating a festive Christmas atmosphere has never been easier than with throws in traditional holiday colors. Red, green, gold, and silver are must-haves for transforming your home into a true Christmas cocoon.

Red throws bring instant warmth and evoke the joyful and convivial spirit of the holiday. Drape them over your sofa, armchairs, or even on the bed for an instant touch of festivity. Pair them with red cushions for an even more striking effect.

Green throws, reminiscent of Christmas trees and winter nature, add a touch of authenticity. They pair perfectly with wooden decorations and natural elements like your Christmas tree and pinecones. You can drape the throws over the backrests of chairs around the dining table to add a festive touch and make your guests more comfortable during the meal.

For a more elegant atmosphere, opt for gold yellow throws or gray throws, which evoke gold and silver. These colors bring a touch of glamour and sophistication to your interior. Use them as throws on your armchairs or layered with other throws to create a chic and festive atmosphere.

Instead of choosing a throw with a snowflake, Christmas tree, or reindeer pattern, which might seem outdated, the Scottish tartan throw always remains in style. Authentic tartan throws can also reinforce the Christmas spirit in your home. Place them in areas where your family and guests gather, such as the living room or dining room, to convey a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Opt for thick throws

To create a truly warm and welcoming Christmas atmosphere, there's nothing like using thick throws such as wool throws, faux fur throws, and velvet throws. These thick and cozy materials not only beautify your interior but also create a welcoming and comforting cocooning space.

Thick Wool Throws

Wool throws are perfect for Christmas. Their thick and insulating texture retains heat, enveloping you in softness on chilly December evenings. Our pure wool throws offer a variety of patterns and colors, from classic tartans like revisited Scottish throws to solid, sober, or vibrant shades, easily fitting into any Christmas decor.

Our RED AND BLUE SCOTTISH HERITAGE LUXE WOOL THROW 140 X 190 CM is a real favorite; its red tartan pattern perfectly suits the Christmas palette, and its thick wool material will keep you warm.

Elegant and Luxurious Velvet Throws

Velvet, with its smooth appearance and sumptuous feel, is ideal for creating a refined and festive atmosphere. Velvet throws add depth of color and luxurious texture to your decor. Available in royal tones such as red, green, blue, or even purple, these throws capture light and create shimmering reflections that enhance the festive ambiance. Place them in the living room or bedroom at the foot of the bed for an ultra-cozy touch.

Our heart can't decide between the ELISE GROSEILLE RED VELVET KNOTTED THROW 140 X 200 CM and the ELISE LILAC VELVET KNOTTED THROW 140 X 200 CM, both also available as comforters. Their vibrant colors awaken the festive spirit within us all and make your interior more upscale.

Have fun layering different throws

Layering throws is a simple and elegant technique. This trick is a creative way to add depth and character to your decor. By combining throws of various colors, patterns, and textures, you create a visually interesting and appealing space. Thicker throws, such as those made of wool or faux fur, are perfect for bottom layers, providing a cozy base. Thinner throws can be layered on top to add color and patterns without overwhelming the overall look.

Plaid Fausse Fourrure Nolan Neige

For example, start with a faux fur throw for a touch of luxury and comfort, and complete the look with a cashmere throw in a neutral shade, which creates a cozy atmosphere. By mixing these textures, you enrich the ambiance of your space, making it warmer and more inviting.

Create cozy corners for family relaxation

The arrival of Christmas is the perfect opportunity to transform a space in your home into a true cozy corner, where warmth and conviviality reign. Start by selecting a quiet corner of your home, near a window to enjoy the view of nature, by the fireplace to keep warm, or in a corner of your living room near a bookshelf, for example. The important thing is to choose a place where you can isolate yourself and relax.

Then, add cozy throws and cushions. Opt for thick and comforting materials like wool, faux fur, and velvet. Layer them and choose festive colors. You can pair throws with cushions of different sizes, shapes, and textures for a welcoming and cozy effect.

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a cozy atmosphere; the ideal is to choose soft and subdued lighting. Use fairy lights, scented candles, or your fireplace to cast a warm glow. Scented candles with cinnamon, citrus, or pine scents can also add a touch of magic to your space.

Incorporate natural elements into your cozy corner to enhance the Christmas atmosphere, such as fir branches, pinecones, or mistletoe.

Gather your essential cozy items, like a book, a tablet for watching a Christmas movie, a Christmas song playlist, not forgetting hot chocolate and a tray with some biscuits. Your Christmas cozy corner is almost ready!
